Truth vs. NEW$ Inc, Part 2 (2 March 2025) with Don Grahn, Joachim Hagopian, and Brian Davidson
Don Grahn, Joachim Hagopian, and Brian Davidson dissect Operation Epic Fury—the February 28, 2026 U.S.-Israel strike killing Iran’s Supreme Leader Khamenei and top generals—exposing its preemptive claims as a cover for regime-change, despite stalled nuclear talks. Iran’s retaliatory strikes unified its population, defying U.S.-Israel assumptions of collapse, while civilian casualties like the 85 dead at Strikon school underscored the operation’s illegality under international law. The episode ties the attack to systemic corruption, Epstein-linked blackmail, and a military-industrial complex exploiting war for profit, predicting Trump’s presidency will crumble amid public backlash as Iran’s counterstrikes expose U.S.-Israel as aggressors.

This is truth versus all that news and garbage out there about war and everything else that's going on.
Very sadly the truth.
You know, done that.
What a great leader he is, and he has pointed us to the truth and things that people hear otherwise.
So get on, Jim.
I'm sure we got something else great here for March 2nd.
Oh, absolutely, absolutely.
The timing of the Iran attack bears symbolic meaning for Judaism.
We're in the first and second day of Purim right now.
And it turns out it's all related.
From CNN, Tal Shaley.
Timing of U.S.-Israel attack on Red Bear, symbolic meaning in Judaism.
Ahead of the upcoming Jewish holiday.
Black screen, Jim.
Oh, okay.
Okay, okay, okay, how about now?
No.
No.
There you go.
No.
No.
Yeah.
No.
It's good.
It's good.
It is good, or is it not good?
Go ahead.
Go ahead.
Okay.
Timing of the U.S. and Israeli attack on Ranbear's symbolic meaning in Judaism ahead of the upcoming Jewish holiday of Purim.
Worshipers read specific portions from the Old Testament known as Zoker.
The passage from the book of Deuteronomy commands the ancient Israelites to remember the unprovoked attack by the nation of Amalek to eradicate the memory of Mamorak once the Israelites are settled in their land.
The passage is read publicly before Purim to fulfill the mitzvah good deed of remembering Amalek as Israel's archetypical enemy.
Wave of Retaliation00:11:49
And of course, Amalek has been associated historically with Iran, with the Persians.
And here's Michael Tracy, Netyahu declaring invasion.
You must remember what Amalek has done to you, says our holy Bible.
1 Samuel 15:3.
Now go and smite Amalek and utterly destroy all that they have and spare them not, but slay both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ass.
That's a rather, you know, serious enterprise.
Kill them all.
Meanwhile, Iran has just hit 27 American bases.
If you do 25 leg presses a day, your legs and butt will fucking raise away.
There's an image that every intelligence analyst, every White House strategist, every Netanyahu advisor, and every American general who planned Operation Epic Fury needed to be true.
And that image does not match what the cameras in Tehran and Isfahan and Shiraz are showing right now.
The image they needed was this.
A leaderless Iran, a stunned population, security forces standing down, crowds pouring into streets to celebrate the death of the man who repressed them, and a political vacuum that Reza Pahlavi could fill with an American-backed transition government before the IRGC could consolidate around a successor.
What the cameras are showing is this.
Large crowds filled streets in Tehran and other major cities, with mourners waving flags, holding portraits, and chanting.
Large crowds of protesters have flooded Isfahan and other cities across Iran following the U.S.-Israeli assassination of Supreme Leader Khamenei.
Demonstrators are calling for revenge against the United States and Israel, chanting and marching across the country.
Revenge.
Not celebration.
Not regime change.
Not Reza Pahlavi's name in the streets.
The word being chanted in Tehran and Isfahan and Shiraz this Sunday morning.
The word filling the squares and the boulevards and the residential neighborhoods of a country that lost its supreme leader, its IRGC commander, its defense minister, and four senior military commanders in a single Saturday is revenge.
The crowds that American planners needed to be celebrating are mourning.
The security forces that Trump told to lay down their weapons are not laying down their weapons.
And the IRGC, whose chain of command was described yesterday as in disarray, has just announced its sixth wave of retaliatory attacks.
The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps said 27 U.S. military locations in the Middle East were targeted in Iran's latest retaliatory wave of counterattacks.
Iran's forces also targeted Israel's Telnof air base, its military headquarters, and a large defense industry complex in Tel Aviv.
The IRGC said missiles and drones were used in the sixth wave of retaliatory attacks, and it vowed to continue its warfare.
The armed forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran will not allow the air raid sirens in the occupied territories and American bases to stop, and will continue to deliver repeated and regret-making strikes as a different and very hard step of revenge.
27 locations, sixth wave.
The math of this operation is now visible.
America and Israel killed the Supreme Leader in the first hours, eliminated four senior commanders alongside him, destroyed Iran's early warning radar, hit five Gulf countries, and declared the operation a success.
And Iran's answer, 36 hours after the first bomb fell, is its sixth wave of attacks against 27 American military locations simultaneously.
Not one wave, not two.
Six.
Each successive wave representing the pre-delegated launch authority that Iran built into its military doctrine specifically, so that killing its leadership would not stop the retaliation.
It would intensify it.
Iran's Revolutionary Guards say they launched extensive missile and drone attacks targeting U.S. military bases and Israeli sites across the region.
Tehran will take a different and harsh step of revenge with successive regrettable slaps, the statement warned.
Successive?
Regrettable slaps?
That language, clinical, sequential, describing a campaign that has a plan and intends to execute it fully, is not the language of an organization in disarray.
It is the language of an organization that is executing exactly the doctrine it announced it would execute, in exactly the sequence it planned, regardless of who was alive to give the orders.
Because the orders were already given before Khamenei died, before the IRGC commander died, before the defense minister died.
The pre-delegation was the doctrine.
The doctrine is running now.
One of Iran's most powerful figures, Ali Larajani, Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council, signaled Iran's defiance on Sunday, vowing to stab America in the heart in retaliation.
Larajani said Iran had assured leaders in the region that it was not after war with them, but would continue to target American bases in Middle Eastern countries.
It must be made clear once and for all that the Americans cannot bully the Iranian nation.
Ali Lariani, the man the source document identified as the one figure with enough institutional credibility to hold the IRGC together through the succession crisis, now speaking publicly, on the record, to CNN, vowing to stab America in the heart.
Not a hardliner, not a revolutionary firebrand.
The man who spent years as Speaker of Iran's parliament, who negotiated with European diplomats, who was described by Western analysts as the pragmatic wing of Iran's political establishment, and his first public statement after Khamenei's death is a promise of a stabbing.
The regime change operation did not produce regime change.
It produced the sixth wave.
stay with me.
To understand why this is all wonderful Meanwhile, Joaquin, Zionist angle behind the weekends U.S.-Israel terrorist attack on Iran to ignite World War III begins as follows.
Once again, a major regional war for the Greater Israel Project has been launched in the Middle East by Bariah Nations Israel and its subservient hired gun exterminator, the United States.
The Jewish state and U.S., as the true terrorists of the world, during the early morning hours of Saturday, February 28th, have once again unleashed another unpromoted and lawless decapitation strike against the Islamic Republic of Iran.
Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iran's defense minister and chief of staff of armed forces, were all assassinated in the U.S.-Israeli airstrikes.
A release statement Sunday, March 1st, from the general staff of Iran's Armed Forces in Ketambai Central Headquarters warns, we will make the enemies of the country, especially the criminal American evil Zionist regime, regret it with the strength, firmness, and support of our noble nation.
The valuable legacy left to us by the leader and mentor of the free people of the world is a guiding light of the brave and heroic Iranian nation and the avenging armed forces.
Within hours, Israeli Prime Minister Bibi the Butcher Netanyahu was already gloating, reporting that Iran's supreme leader was killed.
In the early hours, Sunday morning, March 1st, Iran confirmed its leader had been assassinated in martyrdom, and 40 days of mourning began.
To which Joachim has added a postscript, but pick it up there.
Three articles about Joachim, the outstanding factual argument.
Here's a postcript.
As a third day unfolds in the regional war between the Iran attacking at Sinus.
pariah enemy Israel U.S. with wave after wave of Iran Fatab, ballistic missile assault, bombarding the Jewish state nation, the Size of New Jersey, and targeted U.S. military installation across the Middle East Gulf states, reality is beginning to sink in.
Those heralded U.S. Patriot Islam touted to render Israel's iron dot unbreakable.
Already, in Iran's third wave, Israel has now become indefensible, and more and more of Irans are going to make mincemeat of the Jewish state.
In the above, this writer was giving the U.S. territorial terrorist pariah perhaps up to a month of going head to head with Iran, but already three days, here, this war will be over sooner than later with Iran the worthy, deserving victor, despite the gross inside failure to protect its leader.
Joachim, your thoughts, my friend.
Well, another thing that kind of baffles me is the misjudgment, again, by the American and Israeli forces, believing that apparently with the instigation of the manipulated economy With all the sanctions, that on December 28th,
they started those protests that the Basant, the Treasury Secretary, admitted the U.S. manipulated it.
And then, you know, quote, all the riots unfolded.
Those are all paid mercenaries.
They were, you know, infiltrators that went into Iran and started killing people.
So they, and then they also paraded out this whole notion that Pahlavi, the son of the Shah, is all set and ready to go in and be their leader again.
And it all petered out because the authorities of Iran took control.
And basically, the people united behind the government.
That's the message.
They united behind the Tehran government.
All over Iran, they were in support.
They were out in the streets.
Thousands upon thousands of people all over the country were in support of their government.
So America thinks that they can, you know, pull another fast one.
And then the Iranian people are going to go, oh, yes, come and save us.
You know, I mean, it's a fantasy that is totally delusional.
But America apparently and Israel apparently thought that this nation was in waiting of new leadership, that they would be welcome.
You kill their spiritual leader, and they will welcome the military forces of Israel and America.
I mean, it's so, so delusional and just not on the reality of what's going on.
Yet, that's what they apparently thought, which is another thing that I just can't believe that they actually believe these lies.
You know, it just baffles me.
And I can't help but conclude that I think they want to bring America down and this is their operation.
Brian.
Israel's Theological Cover00:04:55
Well, I want to point something out about Israel's consistent invocation of the idea of Amalek as sort of a theological cover for committing war crimes.
This is an Old Testament doctrine.
And of course, modern Talmud doesn't even repeat the Old Testament.
They read from the Talmud, and there's it's very, very rarely do they even acknowledge its existence because it's so damaging for them, for the people that actually read it.
What they're really doing is trying to justify their right to destroy entire people groups because of the existential evil that's facing them as a nation.
Modern Israel has absolutely nothing to do with Old Testament Israel.
But unfortunately, American dispensational Christians completely misunderstand the Old Testament.
And the misunderstanding is related to something called eschatology, and it's tied to something called covenant theology, which covenant theology in general is correct.
But when it's used as a blanket excuse for bad behavior and genocide, obviously you've missed the point in all of this.
So, why they're invoking Amalek, obviously, is to get Americans' ignorant Christian population that is dispensationalist to support Israel as if they have some sort of legacy right to the land and it was deeded to them without restriction and with no responsibility whatsoever, which anybody who actually understands their Bible knows that's not the case.
And so, the dispensationalists try to read this stuff as literally and prophetically, and they see Israel's modern state as prophetically significant.
And so, it's there to align an American Christian segment of the population with Israel and makes a sort of a moral imperative where Amalek is invoked as sort of a cover for existential anti-Israel evil anti-Semitism.
But I want you to know something.
It has absolutely nothing to do with, it has everything to do with manufacturing consensus and nothing to do with military strategy.
And so, you know, Israeli security establishment operates from a strategic doctrine, not biblical mandates.
And the reason CNN would invoke it would just simply be to try to correct Christians artificially into taking some sort of political perspective.
The greater Israel concept means a lot of different things to a lot of different groups, but in essence, it's a patch that's worn on the IDF shoulder that indicates that the borders ought to be massively expanded.
But really, it's just a cover shorthand for a global control narrative that says we don't have to respect borders, we don't have to respect security buffers.
And because we're Israel, we have the mandate to expansion, to expand our settlements.
So it's foolishness to see it being invoked this way.
And for any of our listeners that are ignorant on these issues, I want you to understand something.
Dispensationalism is structurally incorrect.
It was designed by a guy named Manuel Lacunza, who is a Jesuit, believe it or not.
And it was invoked in such a poor fashion with the Schofield commentary on the Bible that it gained a lot of traction.
But I can tell you straight up, having just written an entire commentary on the Bible, it's bad, poor theology, bad, bad, bad, poor theology.
Very good.
Very good.
Operation Epstein Fury Launches00:15:36
Meanwhile, America war.
Operation Epstein Fury has launched.
For those who think this has something to do with a sex child sex trafficker on February 28, 2026, President Trump announced the initiation of major combat operation against Iran marketing and significant escalation in U.S.-Iran tensions.
The joint operation with Israel involves airstrikes, targeting Iran's nuclear facilities, missile program, naval assets, and broader military infrastructure.
Trump has framed his action as necessary to eliminate imminent threats from Iran's regime, including its nuclear ambitions and ballistic missile capabilities, also calling for regime change by urging Iranians to overthrow their government.
The objective follows failed nuclear negotiation, builds on a prior U.S. strike in June 2025 amid ongoing protests in Iran and regional instability.
This development has a time of heightened scrutiny over U.S. military readiness, domestic political controversy, and questions about alignment with Trump's past campaign promises.
It follows with an in-depth examination thereof.
Meanwhile, craven Europeans give the U.S. and Israel a blank check to proceed with a war, responsible statecraft reporting.
They frame the crisis not as an act of war against a U.N. member state, which Iran, of course, is, but as a natural consequence of Tehran's failure to capitulate unconditionally.
In the aftermath of the new U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran, the transatlantic alliance has offered a response that confirmed what many both in the West and outside knew all along, that for London, Paris, Berlin, and Brussels, the rules-based international war has been reduced to a simple, brutal premise.
Might makes right, provided the might is Western.
He's just talking.
I'm sorry, Brian.
Oh, I'm sorry.
My wife just asked me a question.
I thought I was muted.
Oh, gotcha, gotcha.
The joint statement from the E3, France, Germany, and the United Kingdom is a masterclass in evasion.
We did not participate in these strikes, but are in close contact with our international partners, including the United States and Israel, they declared.
The text also lists all the references and rationalization used by Iran hawks.
Nuclear program, ballistic missile program, regional destabilization, repression against their own people.
Not a single reference to the international law that explicitly prohibits aggression.
It's particularly Orwellian that the European leaders urge the Iranian leadership to seek a negotiated solution when Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Argache was literally doing exactly that a day earlier in Geneva by failing to condemn the strikes.
The E3 has given the Trump admin and the government a blank check.
They frame the crisis not as an act of war against a UN member state, but as a natural consequence of Iran's failure to unconditionally accept its capitulation.
The logic is perverse.
The target is blamed for the attack, and the aggressors are seen as restoring order.
How absurd is that?
Meanwhile, Russia says Trump and Israel are plunging the Middle East into an abyss with the Iran attack.
Russia Saturday condemned U.S.-Israeli strikes on Iran as a pre-planned and unprovoked act of armed aggression against a sovereign and independent U.N. member state, demanding an immediate halt to the military campaign and return to diplomacy.
In a statement posted to Telegram, the foreign ministry accused Washington and Tel Aviv of hiding behind concerns about Iran's nuclear program while actually pursuing regime change.
He warned the attacks risk triggering an humanitarian, economic, and possibly radiological catastrophe in the region and accused the U.S. and Israel of plunging the Middle East into an abyss of uncontrolled escalation.
The ministry also said Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov spoke by phone with the Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Aragouchi, who briefed Lavrov on Iran's attempt to repel the attacks and said Iran would seek to convene an urgent UN Security Council session.
Indeed.
Meanwhile, mission accomplished.
Girls' school hit 85 dead, I believe the number.
We are just going to take out the Ayatollah.
Oh, really?
This was kind of interesting word.
The Tai Chi walking program is now free.
I'm 60 and I just finished the 21 days.
It was a coordinated attack.
As expected, Iran has now responded with missiles, reportedly drone attacks as well aimed at Israel.
Multiple U.S. ally Gulf states also that host American bases have been hit.
You're looking at the U.S. Navy's Fifth Fleet here in Bahrain following Iranian missile strikes.
I mean, this is unprecedented what you're seeing.
Iran has struck U.S. Navy fleet, the Fifth Fleet in Bahrain and multiple other targets.
Like this is not a game any longer.
We also just got word about a few hours ago that Netanyahu has now fled Israel.
That is his plane, the presidential plane leaving Israel with Netanyahu on board and leaving.
Of course, this has happened in any time that there's like these types of attacks, he flees.
I spoke to sources inside of Israel who are right now, they've been in their bunkers.
Many of the high-rise buildings in Tel Aviv, of course, have equipped with indoor bunkers inside of those high-rise buildings.
So they're massive concrete bunkers internal to the building structure.
And I got videos from individuals who are in those bunkers.
They've been in there all night with like their grandmothers, with their children.
So these are real people that are being affected by this inside of Tel Aviv at this hour as well.
That we should point out were volunteered by the Netanyahu government saying they want this.
They're ready to die.
So Netanyahu was more than happy and spiritual leaders inside of Israel as well that represent the Zionist government saying, we're ready for it.
We're okay with it.
We want it.
So, you know, they're speaking for families, regular people.
Now, what the U.S. and Israel did, they said, President Trump said this is a massive operation meant to eliminate imminent threats.
Now, again, we've been reporting all week that the U.S. government wanted Iran to strike first and then wanted Israel to strike first on intelligence that they knew that Iran would not strike first.
They've known all along.
That's why we struck first last summer.
That's why we needed our forces to strike now.
So they're calling this preemptive.
We should call bullshit on that.
It clearly wasn't.
They knew that they wouldn't strike first.
Reuters also reports that Iran's supreme leader was moved to a secure location, citing a source.
And the Daily Mail posted this without any confirmation saying Israeli media say growing indications that he was killed in a strike.
Although there are other Middle Eastern reports that he may address his nation later today.
No, he's not going to be addressing anyone.
He really is dead.
Meanwhile, let me pick up with a report here that we have the Pentagon throwing Trump under the bus by reporting to Congress that there was no imminent threat.
This is, I think, significant.
If I can find it here, if I kept it in all of the stories, it's a good one.
In any case, let's go back up then to where we were.
A direct hit on a Noel facility in Saudi Arabia.
That's a very significant dahla of mine.
Several explosions reported in Dubai, too.
Blasts were heard.
Burj Kahlava, the tallest building in the world.
The U.S. and Israel at Web 28 launched the military operation.
We know that.
We have to report that no ship is allowed to pass in the Straits of Hormuz.
And indeed, a responsible statecraft tells us Tehran hasn't declared a full blockade, but a possibility of major disruption in global oil trade is increasing.
Hours after U.S. and Israel launch a campaign of airstrikes across Iran, the Revolutionary Guard Corps is warning vessels in a Persian Gulf via radio, no ship is allowed to pass the Strait of Horbuzz.
The news suggests that Iran is ready to pull out all the stops in its response to the Israeli barrage, which President Trump says is aimed at toppling the Iranian regime.
A full shutdown of the Strait of Harbouraz would cause an international crisis, given that 20% of the world's oil passes through the narrow channel.
Financial analysts estimate even one day of a full blockade could cause global oil prices to double from 66 a barrel to 120.
It's not yet clear whether the radio transmission amount to a full blockade.
The Iranian government has long said it could block the straight age of a crisis, but has previously avoided doing so, likely because the major impact such a move would have on the Iranian economy, which relies on oil revenue.
It's happening, and I believe it could ultimately raise the price of gasoline right here in the USA to 10 bucks a gallon.
Joachim, your thoughts?
Yeah, I'd like to talk about the Gulf states, you know, the monarchies.
Yes.
They put all their eggs in the U.S. basket for their security architecture.
And now they're paying for it because they weren't protected.
The only country that the U.S. will protect with its own sacrifice is Israel.
Of course, we all have known this a long time now.
But apparently the Gulf states, they didn't know this until just recently, that the U.S. will not protect them.
The U.S. cannot even protect itself, much less Israel.
And so it's a harsh lesson that these royal monarchies have misjudged and chosen the wrong team to get behind.
They should, as quote, Muslims, be loyal to the Shia Muslims of Iran.
And there's a rather large population in Bahrain that are Shia.
They're not all like Saudi Arabia, where they're, you know, the other Muslims.
So, I mean, it really now says, you know, you guys in the Gulf, you need to join with Russia, China, and Iran for your security architecture because they're rising in military and political power.
And the US is a paper tiger empire in free fall decline.
They're finally realizing this.
A little bit late now for them, though.
So that's that major point.
Don't trust America.
You cannot trust America.
You know, that message needs to get out.
Finally, I think Russia and China and Iran have learned over and over and over from the dishonorable, you know, cutthroat.
You know, every time they go into talks, you know that they're going to, you know, amass some kind of offensive.
It's like clockwork every single time.
That's their pattern.
So do not trust the U.S. government when they start talking peace.
You know, it means just the opposite.
So I think the world is finally onto them and will not be baffled and fooled again.
So yeah, that's, I guess, what I can say here.
Brian, your thoughts.
You're really good.
You're muted, Brian.
Sorry, the first article that was covered was by the guy named Mehmedov in the responsible statecraft article.
And what he points out actually is one of the most explosive and exposing claims about this whole Iran affair.
What he's saying is that under international law, you can only use force in self-defense against an armed attack or if authorized by the UN Security Council.
So preventative or preemptive war without imminent attack is unlawful under the UN Charter.
So why is Europe ignoring the legal question entirely?
Well, it's because they would be exposed completely as hypocrites in the Ukraine argument.
Remember, Europe's going to rely heavily on international law, territorial sovereignty principles, and norms related to UN charters and current political borders.
No Moral Foundation Left00:02:44
So, if Europe takes the position that it's okay to accept or ignore preventative strikes against Iran, but then they condemn Russia's aggression in Ukraine, they have zero legal consistency whatsoever.
So, if you're Europe quiet because of their dependence on the United States of America, because it needs U.S. support for Ukraine, or it just simply can't afford to confront Washington or Israel, so instead it just chooses silence.
Well, I would argue that if that's the case, which it appears it is, that there's no moral foundation left in Europe anymore.
And remember, that moral foundation used to be very, very important.
I want to point something out that long before we had our civil war here in America, Britain had declared war on the slave trade long before.
And they were taking out slave traderships and they were taking it out.
And that set the stage.
That was the moral foundation for which a lot of very important battles were fought and a lot of important alignments were made.
Moral foundations are important, but in this case, it looks like the economy and the people are so weak, the leadership are so weak that they'll cave to any argument that is in their economic benefit, regardless of whether it's right or wrong.
We've got a big problem because if Western power completely depends on financial dominance and security alliances and institutional legitimacy, then it's just a selective platform that completely ignores the moral platform on which we decide what's right and wrong.
If that's the case, we are Rome, and we might as well offer bread and circus as a distraction and hope that it lasts long enough for the current administration to survive it.
Yeah, I think you're right.
And it had to do with that European blank check that reduces to might make right, which I'll support as long as the might is exercised by the West.
Western Power's Moral Vacuum00:05:17
Simply outrageous.
Meanwhile, CNN's Farid Zachariah says Iran made a foolish mistake by conducting retaliatory strikes against the Gulf State.
This is someone on the other side of the political fence.
Listen to what he has to say and assess it for yourself.
Really.
Iran makes these mistakes all the time in its negotiations, in its dealings with its neighbors.
I've often found that one is surprised at how clumsy they are.
They should never have attacked the Gulf states, in particular Saudi Arabia.
The Gulf states had made clear they did not want any part of this military operation.
They had said bases couldn't be used.
Some of them had said airspace can't be used.
They privately counseled President Trump not to do this attack.
What the Iranians should have done was driven a wedge between the United States and the Gulf states and made clear that they did not view the Gulf states as responsible for this.
Instead, by foolishly attacking the Gulf states, they have joined together those states.
You've seen the UAES made very strong statements.
The Saudis, very importantly, made a very strong statement saying that they regarded the attack as outrageous and they were going to in some way or the other retaliate or they supported any retaliation.
So the Iranians have already misplayed this.
I just don't think that's the case whatsoever.
And given those Gulf states have American bases, what alternative did Iran actually have?
We know, of course, too, that a peace deal was actually close until Israel sabotaged it.
And as I've already implied, I think it was implied, I think it was because it was close that they attacked now.
Because once there had been an agreement, there'd be no further justification for going on.
Iran's foreign minister, Abbas Argouchi, went on NBC and confirmed exactly what Oman's ambassador and JD Vance already revealed.
A diplomatic deal was close.
A regional de-escalation was on the table.
Peace was possible.
And then Israel attacked.
This matched what I reported earlier.
Negotiations were active, serious, and nearing a breakthrough.
Instead of allowing diplomacy to succeed, Israel chose escalation, dragging the U.S. into a war the American public does not want and did not authorize.
The most important line from the interview: It looks like America doesn't want the war, but Israel pushed it to this war.
That is the truth.
The White House won't say out loud, but the region already understands.
This is the architecture.
Every time peace is possible, yeah, who destroys it to preserve perpetual conflict, fragmentation, and U.S. dependence.
Read the quoted investigative report, explain the logic behind the doctrine, why every negotiation keeps collapsing at the same hands.
Meanwhile, U.S. and Israel are the greatest threat humanity faces today.
I think that's absolutely true.
Here you have the report: CP says from the Guardian: Trump's unprobed attack on Iran has no mandate or legal basis.
Iran launches retaliatory strikes across the Middle East after the U.S. and Israel attack.
Middle East I reports: U.S. and Israel attack on Iran.
At least 51 girls reported killed in Strikon school.
Drop site news reports.
Important.
Hours before President Trump announced major combat operations to achieve regime change in Iran, Oman foreign minister, the chief mediator in U.S.-Iran nuclear talk, told CBS a breakthrough deal could be reached tomorrow and warned that military action would derail it.
That was the point, no doubt.
Meanwhile, Brian, go right ahead.
Since Joaquin is rejoining us, Brian.
You're muted again.
Yeah.
Brian, you're muted.
You're muted.
Yeah.
Sorry about that.
I didn't press the button correctly.
Okay.
I guess I'm still back on the issue of whether or not this Iran thing is moral and how important that really is.
That's fine.
Yeah.
Iran Attack: Moral Implications00:08:06
I just want to focus on the fact that we are killing people, even American citizens, in the name of, in my opinion, U.S. hegemony.
And that is never what was intended by our structure of government.
Our consent ought to have been authorized through something that at least calls upon Congress to agree.
And when we saw Trump do the State of the Union the other day, and you saw that you had standing ovations from both sides on this particular issue, what you saw was the Uniparty controlled by the military-industrial complex acting in unison like puppets without any dissent on this particular issue.
It feels to me like these people's existence is only politically survivable if they comply with this particular structure, which tells me that the Epstein program is much larger, more comprehensive, and more broad-reaching than any issue that we could possibly imagine in terms of how deep the tentacles really go.
And just remember, Epstein is a symbol as much as he's a criminal, but he's a symbol for an immoral system of governments that relies primarily on blackmail and coercion to modify,
manipulate, and design a new world order, a new global world order in favor of the rich and the oligarchy.
So I'm really sick to see America have declined to this particular point where we're just simply do whatever we can for a dollar and we no longer stand on any sort.
All the moral foundation has to be manufactured with false flags, manufactured with propaganda and media, manufactured with gaslighting from our podiums nationwide.
It's foolishness.
I can't believe the American people can't find the appetite to kick against the goads on this particular issue.
I'm shocked that we can't find it.
Moisain.
Well, I was out for quite a bit of that segment, but I'll go ahead and talk about what I've been talking about forever.
And that's Trump is totally compromised, owned, and controlled by Israel.
Of course, this is really old news, but the pertinence of what we're talking about this week with the attack on Iran is basically to wag the dog and do misdirection so Epstein files become yesterday's and forever past news.
That's not going to happen, obviously.
And I've been saying that for a long time, too.
No matter what they do to try and grab the attention, and this is a big attention grabber, obviously, potential World War III against Iran and company.
But it's not going to work because the bottom line is, yes, Trump is avoiding the heat.
Trump is avoiding the heat.
Joaquin, we look forward to having you back, my friend, to finish those thoughts.
Meanwhile, Iran was demonized in preparation for the attack.
Indeed, standard operating procedure from Paul Craig Roberts.
We are treated in news reports the U.S. Justice Department has filed charges against Pakistani and Afghan for allegedly participating in an Iranian assassination plot.
Black screen.
Black screen.
We don't have the screen here.
Wow.
Love it.
Thank you, Doug.
Thank you, Duncan.
Can you see it now?
Here we go.
Okay.
We're treated in news reports.
U.S. Justice has filed charges against a Pakistani and Afghan for allegedly participating in an Iranian assassination plot to keep President Trump from returning to the old law office.
The allegation that Iran intended to meddle in the presidential election is difficult to believe.
The Iranian government has no members on American election boards among poll watchers or a presence among the various officials to decide to what extent the vote is to be verified.
Moreover, why now?
An Iranian focus on Trump Iran has put on Washington hit list decades ago when the Israeli project of having the U.S. overthrow seven Muslim countries in five years was announced.
Iran is currently under military attack.
The Director of National Intelligence categorization of alleged Iranian-backed assassination plots against Trump, which no evidence exists, such as attack planning by the Iranian regime's Islamic Revolutionary Guard are nothing but demonization of Iran to build support for Trump's military attack on Iran.
I'm really sorry to hear that Tulsi would play such a role.
That ain't good.
Meanwhile, Net Yahoo's war.
Does anyone have any doubt?
Trump's Iran strike benefits Israel, not the United States, coming from Al Jazeera.
President Donald Trump stood in front of regional leadership during a visit to the Middle East in May and declared a new era of U.S. foreign policy in the region, one that is not guided by trying to reshape it or change its governing systems.
In the end, the so-called nation builders wrecked far more nations than they built.
And the interventionists were intervening in complex societies.
They did not even understand themselves, the president said in a rebuke of his hawkish predecessors.
Less than a year later, Trump ordered an all-out assault on Iran with a stated goal of bringing freedom to the country, borrowing language from the playwork of interventionist neoconservatives like former President George W. Bush, whom he spent his political career criticizing.
Analysts say the war with Iran does not fit with Trump's stated political ideology, policy goals, or campaign promises.
Instead, several Iran experts told Al Jazeera Trump is waging a war together with Israel that only benefits Israel and its prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu.
One more has Netanyahu destroyed Trump's presidency, also Paul Craig Roberts.
The Madry report, finally, some good news.
Believes Gallipol brings it to us.
The poll shows the attitude of Americans to the Israelis.
Israel Behind the Scenes00:05:14
The Palestinians have shifted and now favors the Palestinians.
Little doubt this is brought about by the heartless cruelty toward Gaza civilians by the so-called Israeli Defense Force, watching a genocide in which entire cities are destroyed, women and children are shot in the head intentionally by satanic Israeli soldiers.
Denial by Israel of medicine, food, and water for bombed-out Palestinian civilians, and statement after statement by members of the Israeli government that the intention is to dispel Palestinians from Palestine have all contributed to waking up America about the alleged only democracy in the Middle East.
Perhaps the Israeli Trump military attack on Iran yesterday will contribute to waking up the people of the Western world.
Here we have the escape of some Americans from In South Sans has resulted in 41% of Americans sympathizing with Palestinians, 36 with the Israelis.
A dramatic change from 2019 when about 60% of Americans were aligned with Israel and only 21 with Palestinians.
The strongest shift are Palestinians is among Democrats and Independents or Republicans, with the exception of Massey and Senator Paul, remain in Israel's pocket.
We seem to have lost Joachim again.
Brian, go right ahead, my friend.
Brian.
Yeah, the Paul Craig Roberts article is really, really good.
And many of you have been listening to me for years.
I have a lot of respect for the guy.
There's no doubt about it that the First Amendment issue is one of his strongest points in the article.
There has certainly been anti-Israel laws requiring contractors to certify that they don't boycott Israel.
There has certainly been university discipline cases involving pro-Palestinian activism and visa revocation debates related to campus protests related to Israel.
And those are absolutely real tensions and consequences.
And so the question arises from a constitutional perspective: can states condition contracts on political positions?
Well, that's a legal issue, not a theological one.
So it should be framed as a civil liberties question, not Israel is canceling First Amendments, but rather what lines are we willing to cross and what lines are we willing to allow lobbyists to redraw.
So Roberts also argues in his article that the U.S. destroyed Iraq, Libya, and Syria for Israel.
Of course, there were multiple drivers and multiple actors and strategic calculations that were independent of Israel, but you don't need to be a genius to be able to put the pieces together.
They were there behind the scenes, not only cheering it on, but funding the politicians who would do it and blackmailing the politicians who would do it to make sure that they got their way when it came to this.
So, regardless of energy considerations or financial impact, Israel was there, no doubt behind the scenes.
That's what the Epstein files really prove.
So, regardless of where you stand, the polling that he mentions in the article is significant.
American public opinion is beginning to shift, and I think it's beginning to shift because people can feel the disturbance in the force, and they can feel that the gaslighting propaganda machine isn't as persuasive as it used to be, unless you're old and feeble-minded or young and stupid and progressive.
But among those of us that make up the heart of the nation, that those polls are shifting for a reason.
Nobody has confidence in the machine anymore.
Well said, and I do believe this is another reason BB wanted to move now.
The ground is shifting out from under support for Israel in the United States, and he feared he might not have another opportunity ever.
Joachim, your thoughts.
Yeah, I think you just nailed it right on the head there.
BB knows that the world has turned against Israel and the genocide.
World Turning Against Israel00:04:07
And no matter whether they own every media, every big tech outlet, it's not going to sell.
The world is on to Israel and it's on to the genocide and it's on to the evil that all that represents, including the compromise pedophile Trump.
So it's like the game's over, you know, the world is on to Israel and on to all the evil.
And so it's not going to work.
And that this is a good thing.
Finally, finally, finally.
So the war is not going to work out.
It already hasn't and will be probably over fairly shortly.
As a matter of fact, I don't think anybody's brought it up yet, but within about two days, Trump was contacting Italy and saying, hey, let's declare a little bit of a peace brokerage here.
He was asking Italy to be there.
And, you know, Italy decided, no, no, it's too late.
You know, the die is cast, you know, and the consequences will fall where they may.
And it's fallen because the U.S. is the bad guy, Israel's the bad guy, and the whole world knows it now, except the vassal leaders of Europe, which are total puppets.
Yeah, it's pathetic.
How can the Europeans be so out of touch with reality?
It's astonishing.
Don, take us out, my friend.
Take us out.
As we go out, I guess when we're putting it next week, do you have any predictions?
What's going to happen?
I believe in the next couple of days, Iran is going to succeed in smashing the American military bases in the Middle East, probably take out several ships, possibly including an aircraft carrier, and all but decimate Iran.
Joaquin, your thought then, Brian, yours.
Yeah, I think this war is going to be short order over.
The power rests with Iran as it should.
So, yeah, I think the game's over.
And I said Trump is not going to last the four years he's been elected as president to do.
He will not last.
I predict that he will be gone this year.
This year.
Brian, your final thoughts.
Final thoughts, Brian.
It's going to follow the same pattern as Ukraine.
Everybody's going to say it should have been over in four days, and then it's four weeks, and then it's four months, and then it's four years.
Okay, Biden started that.
Biden finished his term.
Trump started it.
Trump finished his term.
The military-industrial complex and Israel have every reason in the world to strengthen their economies by driving this machine as long and as hard as they possibly can.
And by the way, when it looks like it's winding down for them with public opinion, they'll just start another one, change the subject, change the conversation, change the narrative.
So expect it to continue.
We'll continue to go out there and drive this massive spending because for every dollar that gets spent, we get to build new security apparatus laws and build new defense mechanisms from the bad guys, the enemies that we're making, you know, all the bad guys that chant death to America, all that's got to drive this up.
Just look at all that spending that's taken place since September 11th, which was such a heart, such a hoax.
And you'll realize that the real driver of this machine is money, not ideology.
Wars and Missiles00:01:33
Brian, I'd be inclined to agree with you save for Colonel McGregor's observation.
We're running out of missile before they're running out of missile.
We gave them all away.
We gave half of them to Ukraine, half of them to Israel.
We're going to be sitting docks.
Who needs missiles?
We don't need missiles.
We need propaganda.
Missiles, who cares?
I mean, come on.
I guarantee you that what we've seen is deployment.
Well, we haven't even begun to see the deployment of the new quote-unquote space age technology that they've probably come up with.
I don't believe ground wars and missile wars and bombs that explode.
That's going to be old news, old hat with the new technology that they have.
I would bet they want to just go ahead and burn out all those arsenals, move on to the uh, move on to the new ways.
Well, there you go, but testable IV.
We'll see what happens.
Dawn, take us out.
Oh, thank you guys for taking us out to where we need to see reality.
I mean, this is a heavy show here, and it's called Truth versus News Incorporated.
And believe me, we're standing strong on the truth.
And I'm glad that you are too folks out there.
Please share this, put it on the internet and other places.
And let's get it out there because the world needs us more than they need many other sources.
